I live in southern PA and will soon be taking a month vacation in the Carolina's. Is it OK to take my standard direct tv receiver along and will I get my local channels from here in PA? I have been told they will not be able to be received? Thanks MIke

Your locals are on spot beams and cannot be received in the Carolina's.

Thanks at least I will not be frustrated by something I think should work

The rest of your programming will work fine though, provided you take a dish and set it up too.

Where in the Carolinas are you going? It's a big area, you know!
